Commercial Kitchen Range Hoods Installer Uses Technology to Work Nationwide - By: Farazandeh

May 21, 2009 — DENVER, COLORADO — It comes as no surprise that technology is making this world a smaller place.

Mobile phones, wireless Internet access and laptop computers make it possible to connect with almost anyone and work virtually anywhere. In the case of American Professional Services (APS-Hoods), technology makes providing commercial hoods on a national scale a reality.

The fact that a company doesn’t have local headquarters doesn’t always mean that hiring it will cost you more, said Massoud Farazandeh, general manager of Nationwide Fire Protection Corp., an affiliate of APS-Hoods.

APS-Hoods, which is based in Denver, CO, recently completed a restaurant kitchen hood installation and fire system installation job in Tatum, NM. The owner was opening a new restaurant and was in search of an installation company that specialized in commercial hoods. She couldn’t get any New Mexico or Texas companies to come out and offer an estimate because of the town’s remote location, Farazandeh said. Tatum, which is located near the New Mexico/Texas state line, has a population of less than 700. The nearest major city is Lubbock, Texas, which is more than 80 miles away.

The restaurant owner called a company located about 45 minutes away and they weren’t interested in giving her a bid.

“We came along and did a job no one else was willing to do in their own state,” Farazandeh said.

The restaurant owner sounded surprised when Farazandeh told her that his Colorado-based company would perform the much-needed work.

“A lot of people don’t realize that we accept jobs such as this, which are located out of state and in remote areas,” Farazandeh said. “It was far, but that’s the way we operate. We’re a national company that goes anywhere in the country to do a job.”

Farazandeh said he wants to get the message out that APS-Hoods will “come to your neighborhood no matter where you are and provide the same quality of work that we do in Denver.”

Technology helped make the job possible. The customer paid a travel fee, but every other cost was equal to or less than she would have paid a local company, Farazandeh said. With a laptop and Internet access, he found the materials necessary to complete the job and had them shipped to the restaurant location.

“It was just as easy as it would have been in Denver,” he said. “We had everything we needed delivered on time.”

The job typically would have taken one week to finish, but Farazandeh and his crew worked extended hours to complete it in four days.

“The way we use technology today, the entire country is like a hometown,” he said. “People need not think they will have to pay us a lot more because we’re coming from another state.”

The restaurant owner was quite pleased with the finished product.

“They were very impressed with the work and she gave me our final check halfway through the job,” Farazandeh said. “That hasn’t happened too many times during our career.”
